Error Performing Checksum Centos 6

doing a yum update on a centos5 or rhel5 box, using rpms from a
[errno -3] Error Performing Checksum
repository on a centos6 or rhel6 server (or anywhere else with a more modern createrepo available), and you get errors like this: http://example.com/repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum errno 3 error performing checksum http://example.com/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum What this really means that yum is too stupid to calculate the sha256 checksum correctly (and also too stupid to give you a sensible error message like "Sorry, primary.sqlite.bz2 is using a sha256 checksum, but I don't know how to calculate that"). The fix is simple: yum install python-hashlib from either rpmforge or epel, which makes the necessary libraries available for yum to calculate the new checksums correctly. Sorted.

This problem has been dissected in this blog post: http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2009/11/26/dealing-with-yum-checksum-errors/. The solution is to create the repositores using createrepo with the -s sha1 option that enables the creation of SHA1 checksums instead of SHA256. electrical commented Jun 13, 2014 Ahh, https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/6498 very interesting. i wasn't aware of this. An other issue that CentOS 5 users have reported is that we sign with a to newer version of the signature ( version 4 versus version 3 what centos5 supports ) That might be the next issue you might encounter. I haven't been able to solve the signature issue yet but i think we can solve the SHA issue. I'll do some tests and update the issue when i find something. electrical self-assigned this Jun 13, 2014 clintongormley added the :Packaging label Dec 30, 2014 sergei-maertens commented Apr 30, 2015 what's the status of this? I'm having the same problem on CentOS 5.11 and would prefer to install/update via yum instead of sources. spinscale assigned spinscale and unassigned electrical May 4, 2015 elastic member spinscale commented May 4, 2015 Hey I just checked this, and @electrical if right. Even though we change the createrepo call, we still call gpg with the wrong arguments. I would like to incorporate this fully into our built, so we need the possibility to configure this via mvn - I will ask the maven-rpm-plugin folks to support this feature, by allowing to configure the %__gpg_sign_cmd call.

Below is the error: http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/x86_64/repodata/a017491800bf2f9c0d3d043d30ca1e065ff89212b35159c0fa201fd9c02f77f3-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum Trying other mirror. Is there a way to uninstall Nginx from Yum manually? linux centos nginx yum share|improve this question asked May 25 '13 at 6:56 Passionate Developer 2031311 nginx provided a repo for CentOS 5; why did you not use it? –Michael Hampton♦ Jul 9 '13 at 19:05 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Installing packages from a CentOS 6 repo on CentOS 5 is ill-advised and should be avoided. Please just upgrade to CentOS 6 completely if you want this. Alternatively, manually grab the source rpm and rebuild it on CentOS 5. As to why this fails: the newer createrepo for CentOS 6 uses a different algorithm for checksums than the one used by yum in CentOS 5 (sha256 vs sha1 iirc), so your yum has no way of verifying the repository contents. share|improve this answer answered May 25 '13 at 7:18 Dennis Kaarsemaker 13.8k2459 Unfortunately CentOS upgrade is not really stable according to Red Hat website so they advise re-install. I don't really want to do that as it would be a lot of hassles with multiple configurations done on the site. I would rather uninstall Nginx manually as it's not used at the moment. Is there a way to uninstall Nginx in this case? –Passionate Developer May 25 '13 at 7:22 yum remove nginx will remove it and everything that depends on it. You will also need to remove the nginx repository from your yum config. –Dennis Kaarsemaker May 25 '13 at 7:25 I still get the same checksum error as per my initial post above when I do yum remove nginx –Passionate Developer May 25 '13 at 7:30 That's because you didn't do the
